It's been sold with the angle that it contains the first appearance of Rocket Raccoon, and not Hulk #271 as we've been led to believe for nigh, 30 years. With the hype surrounding the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy film, opportunity beckons. There's something fishy about it though, I've seen a scan of one of the interior pages. Certainly there is a Raccoon-type creature pictured, but is it really RR? Check the Marvel wiki page, and I swear someone has recently edited it to show this as RR's debut.

Personally, I'd want it for Satana and the other horror shorts, not for the (to paraphrase the Hulk) "puny talking animal" in one story.

Kinda pertaining to the thread as it pertains to the recent issues of Batman Inc #8 and the new Dark Horse Star Wars series. I'm in Atlanta working right now and while in Lawrenceville I found a comic book shop that I bought issue 1 and 2 of the new Star Wars series and Batman Inc #8 all for cover price. I just figured I would point out Galaxy Comics for not trying to shaft customers and over charging for new books.Oh and yeah they are all first prints.

This is the first appearance because (apparently) in the letters page of Rocket Racoon #1, Mantlo says this is the same character that he wrote in the Marvel Preview issue.

Ah, retro-active repossession! Clever. However, in the Hulk issue itself, I can remember no mention of a previous appearance. I'll dig up those Hulk issues and succeeding issues to see if Mantlo went into any further detail on his creation.

And then there's this to check speculators' spending spree:

Satana's next appearance would be in Marvel Team-Up #80.First appearance of Rocket Raccoon called Rocky, he later makes an official appearance in The Incredible Hulk #271. Since The Sword in the Star! saga is stated as 10,000 years in the future (Earth-7614), it's unknown if this Rocket is the same that appeared in Earth-616 continuity or if it's a descendant of Rocket.

And also interestingly, another mag in this title has skyrocketed recently. Same reason.

First appearance of Star-Lord. I had this years ago for pennies, so won't be getting caught up in the rush.

why is this going for so much?the cheapest one is 9 dollars and they average around 15 on CCL?! gougers... my LCS has a stack of them at cover still. theres no way this should be fetching this much money.

I can't believe I haven't been posting and reading this thread more often. A lot of these books I've been picking up for a long time whenever I find them so I'm thrilled to see them along with others I had no clue about being hot.

I think the reason that Superior Spider-Man went up is that some of us retailers (okay, me) assumed it would just be a transition for my Amazing readers and a handful of others. Instead, it went up about 150% over the past year and a lot of the new readers started buying backwards. I was sold out of Superior Spider-Man within three months of its release.
